MORLEY—The Mohawks of Morley Stanwood continued to show off their winning ways on Wednesday night, taking down the Kent City Eagles in three sets (25-17, 25-17, 25-21) for the home victory.

With the win, MS has now won eight of its previous 11 matches, including regular season and tournament results.

After the match, Morley Stanwood coach Robin Kozuch said she didn’t ever feel that her team was rattled during the match, regardless of the many lead changes and momentum swings that are prone to volleyball.

“We were definitely taking Kent City seriously,” Kozuch said. “We came in tonight ready to play.”

Morley Stanwood was unable to distance itself from Kent City for much of the first set, with the point separation between the schools reaching no more than five throughout the set.

The second set saw the Mohawks find their collective stride and gain the momentum that both sides fought so hard to establish in the opening set.

MS found itself trailing significantly for the first time in the third and final set, as the Mohawks allowed Kent City to score the first five points of the set.

The Mohawks’ first lead of set three came when they went up 19-18 late in the set.

Kozuch said she was proud of her team for the way it responded in a tight situation. She said she considered calling a timeout early in the set, but eventually decided against it and put all of her faith into her team.

“I wanted to see how they could pull together and manage it on their own,” Kozuch said. “They knew they were capable of coming back, and they just kind of plugged away point-by-point. I was proud of them for that, because it’s not always easy to do.”

Leading the way for the winning team was senior Breanna Berry, who tallied 17 kills to lead the Mohawks in that category. Berry also had four serving aces and 20 digs.
